Biography
Bezzi Saik was born in Algeria to a Sunni Muslim Berber family, and he joined the FLN during the struggle for Algerian self-determination during the 1950s. On 20 June 1956, Salik, Afkal Bangura, Ferkus Abdou, and a handful of other rebels entered the police station in the Casbah of Algiers and asked to speak with the police captain. Salik and Abdou both shot the captain as Bangura killed the guard at the front door, and the FLN rebels escaped to the streets on foot.
